I would give 4.5 it was great, all the ladies at my bible study loved them and then wanted the recipe when I told them how simple they are! Great simple and easy recipe. Oh I did use 3/4th a stick of butter instead of a whole stick based on other reviews. Other wise followed to a T. I loved that you make it ahead of time so I just popped it in the oven to warm up before I left. Its a keeper. I deal feel it had to much cream cheese in the middle but I am sure I am the only one who feels that way. Thanks!

Made this today and it turned out super- it disappeared quickly on a table full of desserts. I cut it in very small squares and it was pretty easy to pick up and eat with your fingers. I did use less butter just because of the suggestions on here. Flattening out the top crust and getting it on top was a little tricky for me but after tasting it I know it was worth the effort!

Made this last night for today's breakfast. Everyone liked it. Next time I will cut down on the butter. I also added some of the sugar/cinnamon to the cream cheese filling; can't really taste it so won't do that again and just add it all to the top as the recipe calls for. I do like how the crescent rolls come out flaky - almost like croisonts. (Bad spelling! sorry)
